I started D88850 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D88850> to make the git tools be added to the path only if other tools are not already in the path because they are failing in our setup, so the discussion has moved there. But I agree, letting the users add the tools (of their choosing) to the path themselves seems like the best option.
